How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
This Salvador Dali poster presents one of the most recognized images in the history of surrealism. Originally painted in 1931, the composition explores the fluidity of time and the rigidity of the physical world through the depiction of melting pocket watches. The scenery reflects the rugged cliffs of Cap de Creus in Catalonia, providing a stark, barren backdrop that emphasizes the dreamlike nature of the objects. The central figure, a fleshy, distorted profile, is often interpreted as a self-portrait of the artist, appearing to sleep or decay amidst the temporal symbols.
Historical Impact of the Salvador Dali poster
Choosing a Salvador Dali poster for your collection connects your space to the early 20th-century avant-garde movement. The artist reportedly drew inspiration for the melting clocks after observing the consistency of Camembert cheese softening in the sun. This juxtaposition of the hard, mechanical nature of a watch with the soft, organic form of melting dairy exemplifies the paranoid-critical method Dalí employed to access the subconscious mind. Our reproduction captures these nuanced textures with high-fidelity detail, from the metallic sheen of the gold watch covered in ants to the subtle shadows cast by the dead olive tree.
